I also carry a pen, a wet erase marker and a sharpie


Is it just me, or is it illogical to carry a wet erase marker to write on your Sanctum card when you also have business cards to write on? I have a Sanctum, but I've never found a use for it.

I carry Kolossal Killer and business cards in a Stealth Assassin, but I'm probably more likely to use CMH, the Hunter knot or a simple coin trick from Bobo unless it's quiet and there's plenty of time. For something with no props at all, it would have to be a reading, contact mind-reading or something from John Fisher's "Body Magic".

I don't see how it's illogical.

First and foremost, you don't know what kind of effects or routines I'm doing, so how can you make a comment on the logic behind what I carry?

However, just to let you know - the Sanctum card isn't the only reason I carry a wet erase marker.

I could say it's illogical to carry Kolossal Killer when you can just carry one card (or draw one on the back of a business card) and use psychological forces to get the spectator to name it. It's opinions and preferences, sir - not logic.

I like to do watch steals as it always confuses them and you always get good reactions.
